Labs....something - jsmith


Posted: Nov 03, 2009

The doctor says: "Labs from the skilled nosary posability."

I was thinking "skilled nursing facility" but there are too many syllables. Could anything else go in there to make it sound complete?

Thanks!

If pt is from nursing home, that is probably correct, - but that is just a guess from me without hearing i

Help With Numbers Labs And Vitals
Apr 18, 2013

Can anyone help with any tips on numbers? I work in speech recognition as most of us do now and I am having the hardest time with numbers. The account I am on has high ESL also, but even without that, I can't seem to get values correct 100% of the time to save my life. Examples are hearing a 0 instead of an 8 such as 130 instead of 138 or hearing a 2 instead do a 3 or even in platelets thinking I am hearing a value of 300,000 versus 200,000. If it is a profile that doesn't make sense ...

Good Source Of Labs For H&Ps That Are Grouped In Proper Groups
May 24, 2013

Does anyone have a good source of labs for H&Ps that are grouped in proper groups so I can quickly look and know when to put the period and start another group?  I'm looking for a quick reference sheet or something that I can refer to without having to go look up the things that I don't remember. I'm trying to learn them all but there are just so many that it's overwhelming at times.  I'd even take a Word document if you have created your own references.    ...


Check Rheumatology Labs, Including Rheumatoid Factor, Anti-CCP
Sep 08, 2010

This patient could possibly have gout, fibromyalgia, OA, RA, psoriasis...among other possibilities.  "Check rheumatology labs, including rheumatoid factor, anti-CCP, ANA, sed rate, CRP, CMP, CBC, Lyme.  The patient had a s/l 'dipsticks all the time.'  Check an ACE."  The doctor did pause after "had a" so that may not be part of the sentence.  In that case, it sounds kind of like, "The patient gets sticks all the time."  I'm not sure if either makes sense.  She does mention ...


"citrullinated Cross-linked Peptides"? Rheumatology Labs
May 20, 2011

Doc is referring patient for labs to rule out rheumatoid arthritis.  He's listed these a million times and always says "CCP level."  This time he said "citrullinated cross-linked peptides."  I'm thinking he just doesn't know what CCP stands for, as I can only find "cyclic citrullinated peptide".  He's not a rheumatologist, but then again, neither am I.  Can someone with rheumatology experience weigh in? ...
